Said MyRepublic CEO Malcolm Rodrigues, “We made a promise and we want to stand by that promise.”

“We promised that MyRepublic would bring a better kind of mobile service to Singapore, and we believe we can still do that. And we definitely want to thank our friends and supporters for believing in us.”

The partnership was formed after MyRepublic “explored and evaluated various ways to offer mobile services as a MVNO” for “months” and found StarHub to be the “ideal Mobile Network Operator partner”.

“This is a great opportunity for both MyRepublic and StarHub,” said Yap Yong Teck, Managing Director of MyRepublic Singapore.

“Beyond having an excellent mobile network, it’s important we work with an MNO partner that’s well-aligned with us in terms of strategy.”

Added Howie Lau, Chief Marketing Officer of StarHub, “We are pleased that MyRepublic has chosen StarHub to be its MNO partner, marking our foray into the MVNO business.”

MyRepublic reveals that it will launch mobile service in Singapore “very soon, with details on its plans and bundles to come”.
